The rice inspector shines light on each individual grain of brown or polished rice to determine the color. Based on transparency/reflect
ion, a line sensor determines shape characteristics to physically separate the sample into five classes. Up to 2000 grains can be tested per batch at a rate of12/second. A percentages for each class (even, cracked, immature, discolored, dead) is displayed and can be recorded when attached to an optional thermal printer. Selection levels can be adjusted. Using the principle of near-infrared reflectance, rice can be analyzed in the production process for integrated control and batch characterization. Up to two measurement locations can be connected to the central control unit and simultaneously monitored. When integrated with the process control system, grain polishing and processing can be readily controlled
